Controversial take here, but I do think TikTok/creator shops and patron subscriptions are better than the “have the internet gamble on my posts” model crypto is proposing right now.

Under this model, you can get paid for actual citizen journalism, you aren’t getting paid for outing the astronomer CEO unless people are deranged to buy merch about it.

I would be more excited about post coining if creator coins were tied to more utility (eg rev share).

I like the new Farcaster app 1/1 post collection model better than the TBA fractionalize the post model.

It allows for friends and community members to collect low virality posts in a way that feels more meaningful that buying $5 of a coin you don’t want while allowing for massive upside for viral posts.

One of my biggest complaints with crypto is ignoring the value that communities naturally create for each other when you overly financialize it.
